Yellow Pacchetella Tomatoes in Glass Jar — Sapurè
Sapurè Yellow Pacchetella Tomatoes are yellow Campanian cherry tomatoes of the "col pizzo" type, halved by hand and preserved raw in their own juice in a 1062 ml glass jar with 925 g net weight, carton of 6 jars. Sweet taste, very low acidity, 33 kcal and only 0.08 g of salt per 100 g: a single-ingredient preserve created for gourmet pizza, fish-based first courses and contemporary bruschetta in the professional kitchen.
What Pacchetelle of Yellow Tomato Are
The pacchetella is the traditional preserving cut of Campania: the small tomato is split into halves and packed uncooked with its juice, instead of being reduced into passata. The fruit keeps its texture, natural sugars and nutritional values intact. The yellow tomato is a biodiversity of the Campanian tomato heritage: it is harvested fully ripe while keeping its golden colour, which gives sauces and toppings an elegant, unexpected look.
The Producer: Sapurè of Pagani, Campania
Sapurè is a family business based in Pagani, in the province of Salerno, in the heart of the Agro Sarnese-Nocerino, the historic tomato-preserving district of Campania. Founded by Salvatore Iovino with his sister Titti, with their mother Donna Pina supervising production, the company combines the traditional techniques of the area with modern 4.0 process control: firm, ripe tomatoes are selected by hand and processed the same day. Sapurè also works San Marzano DOP and Pomodorino del Piennolo del Vesuvio DOP tomatoes.
Organoleptic Characteristics
Golden yellow colour, fleshy pulp and a clearly sweet profile with much lower perceived acidity than red tomato preserves: 4.60 g of naturally occurring sugars per 100 g. The delicate flavour does not cover fish, shellfish or fresh cheeses, which makes the yellow pacchetella the preferred tomato of contemporary seafood cuisine and white gourmet pizzas.
Professional Uses
- Gourmet pizza: 60-80 g per 33 cm pizza, spread in pieces on the base before baking or added after the oven on white pizzas with burrata or stracciatella
- Seafood first courses: sauté 2-3 minutes in extra virgin olive oil with garlic, then finish paccheri or spaghetti with mussels, clams or red prawns
- Bruschetta and starters: on toasted bread with extra virgin olive oil, oregano and anchovy fillets
- Quick yellow sauce: 5 minutes in the pan over high heat, the juice binds naturally without tomato paste
- Garnish for raw fish dishes: the sweet pulp balances tartare and carpaccio
Pairings
The yellow pacchetella pairs naturally with fiordilatte and burrata on pizza, fresh basil, dried oregano, Campanian extra virgin olive oil, anchovies and all Mediterranean seafood. On the LAPA catalogue you can combine it with red Piennolo pacchetelle to build two-colour pizza menus.
